I picked up this gem on the exchange a few weeks ago, it was already drilled for scope bases so after shooting it a bit I decided to get a scope on it.

Before, next to my grandpas Enfield

After mounting. I had to file down the rear weaver base a bit to fit the reciever.

And my first 3 shot group after sighting in! I was elated with the accuracy of this storied old rifle. I am very satisfied with my purchase. I might bring it out on a black bear hunt next weekend weather permitting.

Shooting Federal power shok 150 grain at 100 yards

Is this the one that was recently discussed in the forum that had the scope base holes welded up?

That's mine. A small number of these have been D&T in Norway and some replugged some not for export. Looks like he has the same Weaver bases. And no my Norwegian will not blow up like some experts on here stated.

Some info from Norway about those D&T K98kF1

That must have been a civilian job. As the K98kF1 rifles were sold out to active personnel in the 70s and onwards, most of them ended up in civilian hands. Many, many, many of these rifles are still being used for hunting, often with the original stock modified, Weaver bases put on and a cheap scope (often a 3-9×40 Tasco or similar type) put on top. I’d say with a lot of certainty that the K98kF1 is the most common hunting rifle in Norway, with Remington 700s and Tikka T3s close behind. On the range you will see tons of these rifles, often doing pretty well despite their age and being not the most modern and accurate actions.

If it is completely stock aside of the plugged holes, it’s a lucky one, most will have the sights removed and/or the stock cut down and the upper HG taken off.

During the 80s-90s-00s a big gun store/gunsmith chain (Landrø) sold tons of these rifles as hunting rifles. You could walk into a huge storage where there were literal pallets of stacked rifles, you’d find a nice one and take it with you. They sold many prepared for scopes.

What rings height did you use in order to clear the safety and bolt handle? Looks like you bolt is well bent and pressed, looks great.

I get a kick out of 'too bad it's drilled and tapped'....ALL of my Husky milsurps are drilled and tapped, some for scopes , some for a Norma peep sight ..with my aging eyes I just can't shoot with the original iron sights ,so I pick rifles that are ALREADY drilled and tapped. My rifles are working guns ,not collectors

Many sporting rifle don't shoot that well either.I have a Bubba K98 that is D+T for scope and side receiver for peep sights that shoot 1/2" with factory ammo.In a laminate stock also hacked off.........it's my rough duty bear relaxer for camping and hiking.I'll load some 190-200gr bullets.

Ya, they say the 98 action is pretty good :p . But who needs that old junk when you can buy a new Savage for 300$ ;)
